GIBSON: Are you in favor of putting Georgia and Ukraine into NATO?
PALIN: (shrugs) Ukraine, definitely yes...and Georgia. Putin thinks otherwise, obviously he thinks otherwise, but --
GIBSON: But under the NATO treaty, wouldn't we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?
PALIN: (Nods) P..perhaps so. I mean, if that is the agreement, when you are a NATO ally is that when another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help.

I think this is really good news. Watching this, my pessimism yawned, curled up in my lap and took a nap. It certainly summoned up painful flashbacks of The President Who Shall Be Named, and I know that's definitely not what the Republican brain trust intended.
Inconceivable. An unscripted Sarah Palin magically turns into Dubya's meek, not-so-bright little sister. Who woulda thunk it? And if these nerf balls tossed by Charlie Gibson confused her, what would Mike Wallace do to her?
I can imagine a smiling and relaxed Joe Biden smoking a cigarette somewhere, lost in afterglow.
But she also said:
And we have got to be vigilant. We have got to show the support, in this case, for Georgia. The support that we can show is economic sanctions perhaps against Russia, if this is what it leads to.
It doesn't have to lead to war and it doesn't have to lead, as I said, to a Cold War, but economic sanctions, diplomatic pressure, again, counting on our allies to help us do that in this mission of keeping our eye on Russia and Putin and some of his desire to control and to control much more than smaller democratic countries.
His mission, if it is to control energy supplies, also, coming from and through Russia, that's a dangerous position for our world to be in, if we were to allow that to happen.
Apparently we intend to fight for control of Russian oil supplies, not just for Georgian boundaries.

['In the former case, war could conceivably be avoided; in the latter case, we have to go to war.']
The best is still the Bush doctrine stuff, though. She clearly didn't know what he meant, and was stalling. You could see in her eyes and her every gesture just how nervous and unprepared she was for this.
I really hope this gets out to people.
(In fact, the appellation has been in effect since 1949, within a year after "Latter Rain" started making the rounds as a Canadian revival-tent ministry.)
Obama isn't stupid, I'll give him that. He made it through Harvard, he has to have something going for him. I just wish they had offered Economics 101 for him.
Heres a funny thought... so many feminists were saying us that didn't want Hillary just didn't want to see a Woman in Office. NO, we wanted an Honest person with good Morals. YET! as soon as that very person fits the billet and so very many Americans are excited there is a sincere honest SMART Woman running for office, now we support a Woman, all of a sudden they turn the tables and say "You just want her because shes a Woman!...blah blah blah... that insults me..." AMAZING!! First we didn't want a woman now we're only voting because she is one. Do they have a CLUE what they sound like? Feminatzis' are running rampid.
